Read MoreI�ve always wanted to play paintball, but was a little bit too afraid of being left with welts and discolored skin from the paint. Squirt guns were always the better route, but it just got old after a little while. Finding the Xploderz guns that look very similar to the Nerf product line was a very pleasant surprise.

Despite being the most connected person I know (and spending a majority of my time on the internet) I actually don’t care much for social networking. Twitter is one service that still baffles me to this day. I get that there are some uses for it, but for the average person, I just don’t think that there is much of a point. Needless to day, despite my thoughts on the matter, millions of people use it, and many want to…

Whenever the power goes out, I tend to reach for my phone to use as a temporary flashlight. I then begin the hunt for real flashlights and candles. Unfortunately, I rarely remember to purchase candles and batteries when I’m at the store, so I usually have to ride out the storm with almost no light. Wouldn’t it be great if you had a light that would work, even if the power was off, and didn’t require batteries? Believe it or…

If you’ve ever assembled your own PC, you’ve no doubt discovered just how many cables there are on the inside. I’m the type of person that will spend a half hour routing wires so that the end result is as clean and free of clutter as possible. It helps when the case I’m working with has holes for cable management. Unfortunately not all cases have these, and if you don’t have the budget for a new chassis, you’re stuck with…
